It is characterized by the large size of the last and penult 

 whorls, giving it a somewhat cylindric outline, and the rather 

 weak teeth of the large aperture, as compared with N. more- 

 leti, which is related. There are only five distinct teeth, as 

 the infraparietal is so small that it was overlooked by Theo- 

 bald and Stoliczka, though present in their type lot. 



The figures represent the type (fig. 10) and a paratype 

 from the lot of four in coll. Indian Museum. Before seeing 

 these specimens the original figures had been copied on pi. 

 25, figs. 10, 11 of Vol. xxiv, under the impression that it was 

 a Gastrocopta.
